USA Seek First Belgium Win in 96 Years

The United States men's national team step into Monday's World Cup Round of 16 against Belgium chasing their first win over the Red Devils in 96 years, a record that stretches back to a long-forgotten era of the game.

The Americans last beat Belgium in 1930, at the very first World Cup, and have failed to win any of the meetings that followed, in World Cups and friendlies alike. That statistic, buried in the record books for decades, has now moved to the centre of the conversation as both teams prepare to meet in a World Cup knockout tie for the first time in twelve years, a rematch of their unforgettable encounter in Brazil.
